Plant Protection Products Amendment (No. 2) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (S.S.I. 279 of 2002).

These Regulations amend the principal Regulations of 1995 in the definition of "the Directive" in the 1995 Regulations so as to implement: (a) Commission Directive 2001/99/EC (as from 1st July 2002); (b) Commission Directive 2001/103/EC (as from 1st October 2002); and (c) Commission Directive 2002/18/EC,which add the active substances glyphosate, thifensulfuron-methyl, 2, 4-D and isoproturon to Annex I of the Directive. Regulations 3 and 4 make further transitional provision, in addition to the transitional provision for flupyrsulfuron-methyl, acibenzolar-s-methyl and pymetrozine which were made in the Plant Protection Products Amendment (No. 3) (Scotland) Regulations 2001 and the Plant Protection Products Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2002. The effect of these Regulations is that where a plant protection product contains one or more of these substances together with another active substance not on the Annex I list, then the provisional approval or extension of provisional approval does not cease to have effect on the cut off date but continues until it expires.
